OPI Hey Baby Swatch and Review

Share with your friends!

Purchase: Ulta

Cost: $9.00

OPI Hey Baby is part of the new collaboration between OPI and Gwen Stefani. The line consists of seven different shades of 5 different formulas. Hey Baby is one of two Creme Gloss formulations. These can be found through Ulta, Sally Beauty, Amazon, and other similar retailers.

Ease of Application

Hey Baby went on super easy and was neither gloopey nor clumpy. With it being a new formulation I expected some kind of drawback when applying but this was not case. Also, it was opaque in only one coat.

Score: 10 out of 10

Color

I found the color of this to be just a generic pink shade. If you have any other bright pink shades then you probably have a shade very similar to this and could probably skip picking this one up.

Score: 8 out of 10

Feel

I don’t know what I was expecting a creme gloss to feel like so I didn’t enter the review of this with any expectations. This feels exactly like your nails do after the application of top coat over your regular nail polish. It also has the same glossy look that a top coat does as well.

Score: 10 out of 10

Lasting Power

I painted my nails several days ago and they are still without chips, I think that OPI’s overall just have a longer lasting power than most polishes.

Score: 10 out of 10

Overall – 9.5 out of 10

LOVE it!!! I get my nails done all the time and I only use OPI polish. I will have to get a bottle of this color.
- Cassie
  
  I just tried OPI for the first time at the end of last year and it’s been my go to ever since 🙂
Lauren

I definitely want to try this Gwen Stefani line. I love Gwen’s style and these color choices are great!
- Cassie
  
  The colors are all really great but it’s the different formulas that make this collaboration unique 🙂
Melissa

It’s a pretty color but like you said kind of a generic pink. I don’t think it’s one that would be like yeah I need to spend OPI cost of nail polish on a plain jane pink. I don’t think I have a crème finish but I like that you said it feels like you already have a top coat on. I’m thinking I need to go hunt me down a color. Like I need anymore nail polish in my life. Ha!

It is nice to be one f the first people to try a new product that you really enjoy. I am glad that you found a product that was so pleasing to you.

OPI has to be my favorite nail brand because of it’s staying power. I can have it on my toes for weeks before it begins to chip.

  It’s staying power amazes me. I now understand why I always see it as the options in nail salons.
Julie

I love that color!

Felicia

I love that color. It looks amazing on!
Amanda Love

I love O.P.I polishes. It’s one of the ones that I do buy whenever I’m buying polishes along with Essie. I love that color. My daughter would probably love it as well. Thanks for sharing.
brett

we love OPI polishes here. great quality. and it lasts. i hate cheap polish. haaaaate it.
Amy desrosieRs

I really love this shade of nail polish! I have not knowingly tried OPI polishes, but would love too. I will keep this brand in mind for future purchases.
Jessica

This is a MUST HAVE color for Valentine’s Day. I was just looking at polishes this afternoon in hopes of finding that perfect pink shade for February. I love how bright this is!
Debra

I love OPI polishes. I hope they make this one for Gels, it’s a great color -dark enough for the winter, but bright enough to warm me up thinking of spring.
Stacie Connerty

I really like OPI polish. I have finally switched yo using gel polish all the time. I like not having to do my nails or have them done more than once every two weeks or sometimes it lasts even longer.
April

I love OPI polish!its my favorite. This is a cute shade of pink.
Melissa

LOVE the color! I need to pick this up for spring!
Jaime

I’ve definitely started to become a nail polish snob. I can’t stand the cheap stuff that lasts a few hours. Do you use a top coat with your OPI polishes? Mine still tends to chip after a day or two. I’m often doing touch-ups during the week.
Kendra

I didn’t know Gwen had that partnership. Very cool. Thanks for heads up on the color not being special. I can’t wait for spring to get color on my toes.
Mickey

Pretty, pretty, pretty! I can’t help myself when it comes to pretty pink polish. I’ll definitely be picking this one up. 🙂
Carly

I love the color!!!!
Paige

I’m wearing a hot pink color by Essie right now. I can’t remember which one! This OPI color is very similar though!
Janel

My biggest pet peeve of painting my nails is how quickly it chips. I loved hearing how well it will last.
Jennifer

I love a good pink nail polish! I’ve been meaning to try OPI for a while… might have to get this one this week 🙂
Shell

I love Opi nail colors! I need to see if I can find these new nail colors!
katherine

This is a very pretty color! And I like that is goes on easy
Jamie Rippy (@MamaMommyMom)

Michelle O’Malley

I LOVE OPI so much. I know there are higher end brands out there but OPI is always my go-to. It lasts the longest, has my favorite brush and my favorite shades. Love this pink!
